E3: Bourgeoisification

God bless Nintendo for doubling down on terrible console names. Reggie must have ice water coursing through his veins.

Still Nintendo is in a precarious position with its new console: the new controllers certainly aren't going to be cheap to manufacturer and initial reactions might pressure Nintendo into making the WiiU games compatible with two or more of the touchscreen units. Furthermore, the 3DS's disappointing sales lend support to the idea that the Wii's success was partially due to its attractive price point (and Nintendo knows it is starting to lose that battle when the PS Vita came out of the gates at the same cost as the 3DS).
